Agreed. Many northerners (where I live) go to warm weather to avoid the hassles of snow and cold. I’m more concerned about what Sleepy Joe is doing rather than what Ted Cruz is doing.

If only the Texans impacted had been illegal aliens.

Interesting how this isn’t blowing over as quickly as the Dem mayors, etc. who told their constituents to shelter-in-place while they flew off to nicer places to party...

Agreed.

He panicked and fell for the media trap and now he looks weak when he should have said FO and went on vacation with his family.

What a total cuck! Cruz I thought would be the last person to fall for this contrived, liberal media gotcha crap. Obviously none of these people haven’t learned a damn thing from Trump.

This is the media’s attempt to take the heat off Cuomo and Slow Joe’s horrible Wuhan numbers and policies.

Cruz could hand deliever a truckload of water to every single person in the state of Texas, and the left would still hate him.

Yup. This story is to cover the weekend news cycle to prevent anyone talking about Cuomo killing 15,000 elderly thru his deliberate mismanagement and his obsession with destroying Trump, to avoid giving him an iota of credit (ex. unused 1,000 bed Nay hospital ship).

Most Texans are free to choose their electric company. Companies compete by offering various plans. I chose a fixed rate plan for 36 months.

If someone chose a variable rate plan because the normal wholesale price is below my fixed rate plan, that is on them. Freedom to choose means freedom to choose poorly.

And that is a big part of the problem. So nice to have the media in your pocket to protect you. Republicans don’t enjoy the same and never will.

Probably because Cruz made such a big thing of criticizing those mayors and Cruz had been telling people to stay home and shelter in place two days before he left for Cancun. The media loves hypocrisy, especially on the part of Republicans.

I just got locked in for another year, right before this hit. But eventually everyone will have to renew and it’s going to be nothing like before.

I don't like it when anyone releases photos of themselves on their own accord of doing good. Reminds me of Matthew 6:1-4

TAKE heed that you do not your justice before men, to be seen by them: otherwise you shall not have a reward of your Father who is in heaven. Therefore when thou dost an almsdeed, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be honoured by men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward. But when thou dost alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth. That thy alms may be in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret will repay thee.

"This Texan says Cruz did nothing wrong. Period. The end."

Same here (though I'm retired in Florida now). Some of the comments here bashing Cruz sound like either lefty seminar posters or those who think the only good conservative is one as "pure" as they themselves are.

They are falling for the lefty media line about Cruz. Don't let them! Fight back against the left media (the only one we have, besides FR)...

The real question is where the other senator is, John Coryn?

He seems to be in a quest to hang the perfect Albatross around his neck.

He’s as tone-deaf as Indira Haley.

Do you think every 75 year old is smart enough to understand that, or that people actually read a 5 page small type document?

This is the only nation on the planet that plays tricks on citizens like this. This is a good way to turn Texas blue & end whatever we have left.

If I had the where with all, I would get my kids out of a bad situation. This is so ridiculous. I’m starting to really get pissed off.
